Afternoon Shadow
Her shadow crossed his storefront everyday.
She never paused once, or glanced to notice,
The man inside who had fallen in love;
With this beautiful women he hoped to-
Share his life with, if he could just get her
Attention he would introduce himself.
His heart began to ache realizing
This is just a fools infatuation
Then one day as he was closing the store,
There she was just as he hoped for, real.
